In the 1990s, a quiet cellar in the English village of Scole became the unlikely stage for one of the most extraordinary series of séances ever documented. Over a period of five years, a small group of mediums,joined at various times by scientists, engineers, and investigators from the Society for Psychical Research, claimed to witness luminous phenomena that danced through the darkness, voices that spoke independently in mid-air, objects that seemed to materialize from nowhere, and images that appeared on sealed rolls of photographic film.

This episode takes listeners inside the Scole Séances, recounting how the circle was formed, why its members described their work as an experimental collaboration with a “spirit team,” and what it was like to sit in that Norfolk cellar as light forms glided across the room or as unseen hands reached out in greeting. It explores the dramatic photographic experiments that baffled even experienced researchers, considers the role of the Society for Psychical Research and its detailed report, and reflects on the lasting impact of the case within the wider history of psychical inquiry.

Whether approached from the perspective of belief, skepticism, or simple curiosity, the Scole Séances remain one of the most intriguing modern attempts to probe the boundary between science and mystery, offering a rare glimpse into questions of consciousness, survival, and the possibility of communication across worlds.

This isn't a book about finding Amelia Earhart. it's about her finding me, and guiding, directing, nudging, cajoling me along the way. It's a mind bending adventure told in third person, then in first person, then with eyewitnesses, then with a variety of mediums who I've known for decades, answering my incessant questions.

Forty years of research, after working on various films, documentaries about Amelia Earhart, after working with mediums speaking directly to Amelia on the flipside, I'm sharing the research. After my second feature film LIMIT UP I got a letter from an old friend who said "You should make a film about Amelia Earhart." That took me on an unusual flight that included starts and stops along the way, some of this research was shared in the book HACKING THE AFTERLIFE, but Amelia kept knocking on my door.

There are certainly more in depth explorations out there - I present her story as a journalist/author/filmmaker; "this is what likely happened to her based on 30 years of research, this is what likely happened to her based on her own revelations, these are stories about her that have never been told.

As a caveat, I don't recommend reading this book if one believes that life ends in death. If that's the case, then return it, ask for a refund, or give it to someone else.

However, having spent the past fifteen years filming people talking to, learning new information from people offstage, I've done my best as a journalist, award winning filmmaker, story teller to get her story as precise as I can. There are likely mistakes I've made - but the core story remains the same.

She was never lost. She still exists. And anyone who takes the time can ask her directly themselves about any part of this book, or any part of her journey. She is happy to share this information with anyone who takes the time, makes the effort to ask her and stick around for the reply...

Bio

Writer/Director/Author Richard is an award winning filmmaker, who has written and/or directed 9 theatrical features, and a number of documentaries. His first book, "Flipside: A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife" went to #1 twice at Amazon in all its genres. The book is based on transcripts of a documentary he made which is available at Amazon (Flipside: A Journey Into the Afterlife) and Gaia TV. His books "It's a Wonderful Afterlife" volumes one and two expands the research into the afterlife from Michael Newton's work, to include interviews with a number of scientists in the field of consciousness, including Dr. Bruce Greyson, Dr. Mario Beauregard, and Gary Schwartz Phd.

He also examines near death experiences and compares their accounts to similar ones during between life sessions (the technique used by Michael Newton that allows people to access the between lives realm, or LBLs) and other examples (OBEs) where people may have lost their ability to think normally, but are having the same experiences. In "Hacking the Afterlife" he interviews mediums and explores "interviewing people no longer on the planet." As Gary Schwartz put it after reading "Flipside" “Inspiring, well written and entertaining. The kind of book where once you have read it, you will no longer be able to see the world in the same way again.”

What if birthmarks weren’t just biological flukes, but echoes of another lifetime? In this episode, we dive into one of the most fascinating and controversial areas of consciousness research: the cases of young children who spontaneously recall previous lives—and whose bodies sometimes carry physical traces of the deaths they claim to remember.

For over four decades, psychiatrists Dr. Ian Stevenson and Dr. Jim Tucker at the University of Virginia investigated thousands of these reports across cultures and continents. Their archives include children born without fingers who insist they were shot in a former life, toddlers with jagged, sword-shaped birthmarks who vividly describe being killed in battle, and little ones terrified of fire whose skin bears burn-like discolorations from birth. In countless cases, the children not only shared memories but described names, locations, and circumstances of death with a level of detail later confirmed through records and eyewitnesses.

Skeptics point to coincidence, cultural influence, or suggestion. Believers see evidence of reincarnation. But beyond belief or disbelief lies a much bigger question: How do memories form, and can consciousness survive death in ways science cannot yet explain?

Join us as we explore the most compelling cases from Stevenson and Tucker’s groundbreaking research, and ask whether these strange birthmarks might be more than skin deep. Is this merely mystery, or proof that identity stretches beyond a single lifetime?

Philip J. Cozzolino is an Associate Professor of Research in the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Philip received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Minnesota in 2006 and spent 17 years at the University of Essex in the United Kingdom prior to joining DOPS.

Philip’s research explores how individuals seek meaning in life, with a particular focus on the positive psychological consequences of death awareness. Inspired by evidence from DOPS-generated research into near-death experiences, Philip is responsible for a psychological model that links healthy and honest considerations of human mortality to increased well-being, heightened desires for self-direction, and more authentic living. His work has been covered in the ‘Huffington Post’, ‘Psychology Today’, ‘Scientific American’, ‘BBC Radio 4’ and has generated research from numerous psychologists around the world.

At DOPS, Philip’s initial focus will be on investigating – and elucidating processes related to – reports of past-life memories from children around the world.

Research Interests:

Near-death experiences

Children reporting past-life memories

Psychological consequences of mortality awareness

When people grow old or become very sick, they often spend time thinking about what might happen when life ends. It is natural to wonder what comes next, and people from every culture and religion have imagined it in different ways. Some people speak about heaven, others about reincarnation, and some believe death is simply the end. But there is one curious set of experiences that seems to cross cultures and history: deathbed visions.

A deathbed vision is a strange and powerful event reported by people who are close to dying. They might suddenly announce that they see their mother standing in the room, even though she died long ago. They may reach out their hands to someone invisible, whispering, “They’ve come for me.” They sometimes describe beautiful places filled with light, or hear music that no one else in the room can hear. Family members and doctors who witness these moments often feel awe, puzzlement, and sometimes comfort.

What if the unseen world is not just something to fear but something to learn from?

In Out of the Darkness, Into the Light, paranormal investigators Cara Cilento and Gail Gamble take readers on an extraordinary journey through some of the most haunted locations, eerie artifacts, and chilling personal encounters with the supernatural. Drawing from years of firsthand experiences, they blend historical intrigue with deeply personal insights, uncovering not just spirits, but the lessons they leave behind.

From haunted asylums to cursed objects, every case reveals more than just a ghost story—it explores the imprints of human emotion, trauma, and the echoes of history that refuse to fade. Through their investigations, the authors invite readers to see the paranormal as more than mere mystery, but as a mirror reflecting our own fears, hopes, and the unresolved chapters of our past.

Part memoir, part supernatural exploration, this book is a compelling guide for seekers of the unknown, skeptics looking for answers, and anyone who has ever felt a chill in the air and wondered: What if something is truly there?

Step beyond the veil and embrace the unknown—you may just find the light within the darkness.
